France named Charron who achieved the speed of thirtyâ€"eight and a half miles per hour in his racing motor. In these days of hectic hurry a speed of thirtyâ€"eight and a half miles an hour may appear to be slow progress, bui it does indicate thgt even thirty vears ago the automobile had been developed to a degree of speed that was remarkable for those days. As early as 1896 the Automobile Club of France was founded, with headquarters at Paris. One of the chief activities of this club was the conducting of â€" international â€" autoâ€" mobile races. James Gordon Benâ€" nett, a famous newspaper publisher, donated a bandsome cup for these automobile races. In 1900 the Benâ€" nett Cup was won by a native of tinrity years ago., And the gentieman thrs telephoning is not more than thirtyâ€"two years old ! ; There are men who do not believe that anything chappened before they can remember, or that anything was invented before they were born. Of course men like this unduly flatter themselves. This‘ is an old world, and the wise man of old was wise indeed when he suggested that there were few new things under the sun. As early as 1896 the Automobile The first. **horseless _ carriage‘‘ would appear to be the invention of Nicolas Cugnot. In 1770 he sueâ€" cessfully operated a machine which he called an ‘‘automan.‘‘ The machâ€" ine is still preserved at the Conservaâ€" tory of Arts in Pans. The first motor cars in Amerca latio that C groed with the ideas and purposes of the letter signed, ‘‘Thirty Years a Motorist,‘‘ there dave been some to suggest to The Advance that the gentleman who wrote this useful epistle had been unfortunate in his choice of ‘a pen name. One man acâ€" tually telephoned to The Advance to say that there were no motor cars thirty years ago. And the gentleman thrs telephoning is not more than were seen in PRALIadGCIPHI4 1M oOULC Clz teenth century. It is true they made the horses laugh, but they were the forerunners of the motor ears of toâ€" day. England had its first motor car in 1802, which is considerably more that thirty years ago to anybody exâ€" cept perhaps a Provincial auditor or municipal expert to whom the years seem to mean nothing. The motor car appears to have been absent from Canada until a little over thirty years ago, although in an artiâ€" cle in The Canadian Motorist of June this year it is said that ‘‘way back in the sixties there were two boys in AUTOMOBILES ARE NOT AS MODERN AS SOME THINK Member of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. moth cloek works also, acecording same that in 1895 or 1896 an electrie motor car was built in the Dickson Lavery at the corner of Bay and Temperance streets, Toronto _ According to The Canadian Motorist, the first real moâ€" tor car in Canada was purchased in 1898 by Mr. John Moodie, President iltor x‘ 1IC Canada â€" United States Published every Thursday by THURSDAY, JULY 22nd, 1926 the police are at least making ffort. # hile most thoughtful citizens aâ€" Thursday, July 22nd, 1926 Owner and Publisher.

Mr. Moodie made the first motox tour in Canada in 1898, the trip being from Hamilton to Toronto. He made the journey in less than three hours. He attracted big erowds of curious people all along the line of the trip. With the same machine toâ€"day, he could atâ€" tract equal attention and astonishâ€" ment. _ The motor car industry has made wonderful progress in the past quarter of a century, but it should not be forgotten that in England it was ty (the N. W. Ayer Co.) bent every effort to right the wrong in the most complete way. The N. W. Ayer Co. secured information in regard to this town and its wonderful growth and expansion, and the advertisement was reâ€"written in such a way that the truth about Timmins is clearly indiâ€" cated. On another page of this is sue will be found the revised adverâ€" tisement. It is being 'published in all the newspapers andâ€" magazines that carried the advertisement that misrepresented Timmins. In addiâ€" tion it is being published in scores of other publications throughout Caâ€" nada and the United. States. If truth can overtake a false impression, the wrong view given Timmins will be offset. In any case, the truth in this instance is going to give the lies the run of their lives.

Unfortunately, through a careless lack of knowledge, and, perhaps, a desire for sensaâ€" tionalism, the copy writer pictured Timmins as a rough, uncouth mining camp, composed largely of foreigners and illiterates, and without the adâ€" vantages of modern life and civilizaâ€" vertising A Timmins business man has handâ€" ed The Advance the following clipâ€" ping giving a homeâ€"loving citizens‘ creed.

In any event, the facts support him in the suggestion that the motor car inâ€" dustry has been in existence more than thirty years, just as the facts support him in regard to the need for better enforcement of the law for the protection of the public from the speed fiend, the drunken motorist and the careless car driver. an established industry «more than thirty years ago, the manufacture of motor cars being a regular business in Britain and France before there was more than an occasional odd specimen in Canada.
